On a tragic day in May 2017, the life of 37-year-old Crystal Wiley, a Caucasian female, was cut short in Summerville, South Carolina. Authorities discovered her body on the morning of May 8, 2017; she had been fatally shot. The incident immediately launched a swift and intensive investigation by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, which quickly identified a person of interest.
In the hours following the discovery, law enforcement issued a 'Be On the Lookout' alert for Crystal's
husband, 35-year-old Troy Lamont Wiley, who was considered armed and dangerous. The urgent search for him prompted a significant police operation that even led to the lockdown of two schools in the nearby Goose Creek area as a precautionary measure while officers scoured the region. The search for the vehicle he was believed to be driving was a key part of the manhunt.
By that evening, the search concluded with the apprehension of Troy Lamont Wiley. He was taken into custody around 6:30 p.m. and subsequently charged with the murder of his wife. Following his arrest, he was booked into the Hill Finklea Detention Center in Moncks Corner. During his initial bond hearing, the court denied his release, ensuring he would remain in custody as the legal proceedings against him commenced.
